System and method for automated deployment of an information handling system
First Claim
1. A method for performing a task associated with an information handling system, comprising:
- receiving at an information handling system identifying information from a source local to the information handling system, the identifying information identifying a particular one of a plurality of profiles;
automatically identifying the particular profile associated with the information handling system based on at least the identifying information received from the local source;
automatically accessing a database to;
access available profile information associated with the particular profile; and
identify unavailable supplemental profile information associated with the particular profile for performing a task associated with the information handling system;
automatically generating a customized user interface at the information handling system for inputting the supplemental profile information unavailable to the database, the customized user interface being customized based on at least the unavailable supplemental profile information;
receiving the supplemental profile information via the customized user interface; and
automatically performing the task based on at least one of the identifying information, the profile information accessed from the database, and the supplemental profile information received via the customized user interface.

Abstract
A system and method for automated deployment of an information handling system are disclosed. A method for managing the deployment of an information handling system may include executing a deployment application on an information handling system, the deployment application including one or more tasks associated with the deployment of the information handling system. The method may further include automatically determining for a particular task whether an execution time for the particular task is within a predetermined range of execution times. The method may further include automatically performing an error-handling task in response to determining that the execution time for the particular task is not within the predetermined range of execution times.
